- At 68 GW, entire electricity production of SSA = Spain; without SA = 28GW = Argentina. - P/million capacity = one-third of South Asia’s, one-tenth of Latin America’s.
Over the past two decades, Africa’s coastal cities have been growing by 4+% a year. Lagos, Mombasa, Dar es Salaam, Accra, Abidjan and Dakar have seen populations explode from in-migration. SS Africa’s littoral population should double to 250m by 2030, with faster growth expected. (Two-thirds of world already within 400kms.)
• Expand administration, governance and rule of law
• Investment in basic services and infrastructure – fuel, water and (electrical) power
• Increased threats of environmental instability, overfishing, piracy, ‘threat networks’, and ‘ungoverned urban spaces’
In 1990 there were only 24 cities in Africa with more than one million inhabitants. Today this number is 48 cities, of which Cairo and Lagos have more than ten million inhabitants each.
By 2025 there will be 300 million people
younger than 24 years in African cities – a
most potent political and cultural force on the
continent.
What does this mean for Africa?
• Stress on urban infrastructure
• Risk of appeal of populism
• Need to manage expectations
• Need to ensure rural growth
Yet her
generation has
the best
chance of
breaking out of
poverty

2000-2011: African internet usage in Africa grew 2,500%; global growth rate ten times less. In Nigeria, internet users went from 200,000 to 44 million during this time.
2000-2011: African internet usage in Africa grew 2,500%; global growth rate ten times less. In Nigeria, internet users went from 200,000 to 44 million during this time. Kenya’s M-Pesa service 14 million users in 5 years, moving 20% of value of GDP.
Result: Africans, natural connectors, will
increasingly have their lives shaped by global
and regional information and financial
exchange
What does this mean for Africa?
• Impact on expectations
• A linked diaspora
• Avenue to globalisation, good and bad
• Premium on skills …

Boom Times Continue High Commodity Prices Here to Stay

Boom Times Continue - China only $4000 pc income; domestic
demand – e.g. cars 1/10th of US levels.
- Chinese increased demand for copper 700,000t annually: same as Zambia.
- China raw material investments $340bn last five years, only $88bn mining.
